What You'll Do

Get this: Alana Blanchard’s treating you to an awesome, insider tour of her hometown. Even more awesome? Her hometown happens to be on beautiful Kauai, Hawaii! You and a friend will pack your favorite bathing suits and join Alana in the tropical surfers’ paradise she calls home for an epic day of surfing/sunbathing/sightseeing. You’ll head to the water to do what Alana does best: surf (beginners welcome!). Then head to the sky for an incredible helicopter tour of the island. Alana will send you home with some sweet surf tips, epic photos and a special gift: You’ll be the first to hear her friend Peter Purcell’s new song that he wrote to support charities around the world. Sound good? Flights and hotel included!

No donation or payment is necessary to enter or win this sweepstakes.

Who You'll Help

Malala Fund takes “girl power” to a whole new level. 130 million girls can’t go to school today, and Malala Fund is working for a world where all girls can learn for 12 years and lead without fear. Founded by student and Nobel Laureate Malala Yousafzai, this awesome organization advocates for resources and policy change needed to give all girls a secondary education. They also invest in developing country educators and amplify the voices of girls fighting for change. Malala Fund is currently providing education for girls who face the greatest challenges in going to school, including Syrian refugees and Nigerian girls who escape Boko Haram.

At Omaze, we believe fundraising should be about impact, not percentages. Our model allows us, in partnership with Charities Aid Foundation America (we call them CAFA), to really make a difference and disrupt the way society traditionally thinks about charitable giving.

Here’s how it works: Omaze and CAFA work together to offer incredible prizes and experiences that anyone can potentially win. You don’t have to donate to enter, but if you do, your donation to CAFA is then used to make a charitable grant to a great cause, which we love. Omaze pays for everything that’s needed to run the sweepstakes, which means the only ones taking a chance are the entrants (you!)—not the charity. The nonprofit can spend less time worrying about raising funds, and instead focus their energy on doing awesome work.

*This means that for the typical campaign, from every dollar you donate, 60 cents is passed directly through to CAFA, all of which is then used by CAFA to make a grant to the associated charity. If there are multiple charities, then grants of equal share are made to each charity. Of the remaining 40 cents, 25 cents is typically used to pay for things like advertising, payment processing and the costs of making the campaign a success—including providing the prize. Then the last 15 cents goes to Omaze and is used to cover the cost of providing and maintaining the technology and team that makes this all happen.

The result? Causes get a guaranteed grant with no risk and no overhead or investment, our lucky winners get awesome prizes, and everyone else gets to help a great cause and spread joy!
